A likely dislocated disk reduction that worked for me today.

Today I had a bit of a flare up. It wasn't bad enough to lock my jaw but it hurt, chewing was very difficult and painful, and my ear felt funny. I did some relaxation exercises, just relaxing every muscle in my face as much as possible, then tried something new. With my jaw hanging loose and open like a zombie I shook my head back and forth for a few seconds, not very hard, but enough to make my jaw swing back and forth a bit. This brought considerable relief right away and I was able to eat, though it still felt a little inflamed. Now, about two hours later, it's nearly back to normal. I thought I'd post on the off chance this helps someone else.
